Cocoa Woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus susurrans)
About the Cocoa Woodcreeper
The cocoa woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus susurrans) is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. The cocoa woodcreeper was formerly included in the buff-throated woodcreeper (X. guttatus) but since the 1990s has been recognized as a separate species. The two form a superspecies. Biogeography and molecular data suggest that the relationships among the subspecies of both deserve further study; some may be assigned to the wrong species or be species in their own right. The cocoa woodcreeper has these eight subspecies that fall into two groups: "Lawrence's" or "nana" group X. s. confinis (Bangs, 1903) X. s. costaricensis (Ridgway, 1888)

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 225 recordings for this species: 56 CC BY-NC-SA · 16 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
